Pokemon Dawn

The scorching sun in midsummer shines on a silent arena, leaving dazzling spots on the uneven land.

In the audible silence, only the narrator's voice echoed in the sky.

"The outcome has been decided! Bankilas knocked down his own race with a finishing blow that shook the earth, and stood in the finals until the last moment! The score is 6 to 4. The champion of this Quartz Alliance Competition is——"

"Contestant Akita Saki!"

Cheers rose up with the commentator's words. But the boy stood in the middle of the boiling quartz sports ground, unable to recover for a long time.

The huge wall that appeared at the end of the battle was still replaying before his eyes. Perhaps it was not until this moment that he discovered that he was not as calm as he had imagined - a defeat that was one step away from the top would always bring about the final outcome.

Deep regret.

After a moment, the young man pursed his lips and walked to the center of the arena. The opponent's girl stretched out her hand to him, her smile still shy, hardly like the winner of the game who gave decisive orders.

After the handshake ended, he turned around and walked into the player tunnel.

The championship game has always been the focus of the entire Quartz League competition. The other end of the player tunnel has long been crowded with reporters holding microphones and cameras. But after stepping into the shadow-shrouded tunnel, he first noticed that he was squeezed into the back by reporters.

Three little guys in line.

Wearing the same black clothes, they were trying to smile and wave to people in the crowd.

The tense expression of the defeated man relaxed almost instantly. The silver-haired boy quickened his pace, and his body disappeared into the light at the end.

The championship battle finally ended with Xiaotian's defeat. The golden retriever brothers and sisters who were looking forward to their friends winning the championship were disappointed. On the contrary, Xiaotian himself regained his normalcy faster than the bystanders and began to carry out the usual routine - and was beaten by the golden retriever.

The brother and sister thought it was very embarrassing - the post-game review. His father didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with continuing to run his brain at high speed just after the fierce game. The two of them gathered together and muttered attentively, even during the lunch break.

Didn't let it go.

After the finals, the third place competition between Xiaoye and Dazhi was held in the afternoon. Both sides were aggressive players, and the gap in strength was not big. The intensity of the battle was no less intense than the championship battle in the morning.

Due to the different fighting styles, the time spent in the third place match was much shorter than the previous match. In the end, Dazhi, who was a more experienced trainer, was slightly better and won the match. Xiaoye's journey to the Quartz Alliance ended here.

, regrettably unable to step onto the podium.

——Of course, the loser herself didn't care about this, because the bonus for reaching the semi-finals was enough to save her from the fire and water.

When all the battles were over and the field was leveled again, the players gathered on the field one after another.

The last time 256 players gathered together was the opening ceremony of the Quartz Alliance Competition. But this time, the final part of the competition will be held - the award ceremony.

The winner on the field is always the only one, and the only difference between the remaining 255 people is the sooner or later they fail. However, for young trainers participating in the regional league, cruel victory or defeat does not seem to be enough.

A question that has been on their minds for a long time - when they stepped into the field surrounded by four white lines, most people still had smiles on their faces.

Old Damalanchi had already begun his post-match speech. The blond boy seemed to think that this routine was too routine. He raised his palms to block the sunlight that had begun to move westward, and looked at the reddish sky in midsummer through the gaps between his fingertips.

"Our Quartz League is over." He muttered quietly, "Although I am not satisfied with my results, I am really happy to be able to participate in such an event with everyone."

"I feel the same way. I'm very happy too, especially after I gained the team's errand boy."

The girl's serious answer made Xiaojie's emotional smile suddenly freeze on his face.

"...Can you check the atmosphere before you speak, bastard sister!"

The closing ceremony's speech was not lengthy. Dama Lanci seemed to understand that the contestants did not want to listen to the old man's long speech, so he ended his speech with a few witticisms. The award ceremony began immediately, and the top three contestants stepped onto the leaderboard.

podium.

Xiaoye looked at the familiar figure on the high platform. The silver-haired boy took the trophy and flowers from the old man's hands. The light of the spotlight shone on his body, making his expression behind the sunglasses soft and calm.

A moment later, the red-haired special guest walked onto the stage step by step, unsurprisingly triggering deafening screams from the audience - ever since Du, who was only eighteen years old, won the honor of King of Heaven in the qualifying round, he became

He became a role model that young trainers in the Kanto region admired and looked up to.

Du straightened the microphone and said with a smile, "In accordance with the practice of previous Quartz League competitions, in order to express my congratulations to trainers who have achieved outstanding results, I have prepared three gifts."

Three exquisite gift boxes were brought to the stage and immediately attracted everyone's attention. The prizes of the regional league were not too expensive, but the format of announcing the contents at the ceremony could fully arouse the curiosity of young people.

"Guess what's inside?"

At this moment, Long Tianwang, who had experienced hundreds of battles, must not have expected that a question he casually asked would be answered by a surprisingly unified response from the audience.

"Dragon tooth——"

"..."

Seeing the friendly smile of the red-haired young man freeze on his face, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out from the audience, and the quartz stadium was filled with happy air.

The Dragon Messenger, who was overwhelmed by the fans, shrugged helplessly. Then, he announced the contents of the secret gift while saying, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint everyone."

"The three gifts I have prepared are a set of ten Evolution Stones, a monthly card for the Silver Mountain Training Center, and a key stone. According to the previous rules, the champion has priority." Du smiled and accepted the award at the station.

The girl at the top of the stage stretched out her hand, "Then, contestant Saki Akita, please make your choice."

After the words fell, Xiaoling suddenly said "Wow" and said firmly, "I bet she will choose the monthly card——"

Shaxi's voice sounded immediately, and its content was just as Xiaoling expected.

The training center is a very important facility for high-level trainers. It will provide trainers with professional training equipment and different types of venues, and there will be training assistants to assist, which can improve the training in a very targeted and efficient manner.

Pokémon's abilities. The Silver Mountain Training Center is one of the best - it only provides services to those in the top 100 points on the world trainer rankings. It has the most cutting-edge training auxiliary facilities. It is the best training center in Kanto and Johto.

The first choice of the kings and champions of the two regions.

Young trainers working hard in regional leagues are still far from the top of the industry. For competition champion Akita Saki, the Silver Mountain Training Center is not only a provider of equipment and venues, but also a platform for mutual exchanges with outstanding trainers from all over the world.

The best platform for communication. Even if the right to use it is only for a month, it is enough for this young 14-year-old trainer to make huge progress.

Except for the monthly pass to the Baiyinshan Training Center, the other two were common gifts that often appeared in various competitions and did not arouse the exclamation of the players. After a short deliberation, Xiaotian chose the key stone and Dazhi accepted it.

Got the Evolution Stone Set.

At the end of the award ceremony, the three contestants on the podium returned to the queue of more than 200 trainers holding flowers and trophies. Du looked at the bright eyes of the young girls in the audience with a smile and gave his final blessing.

.

"The journey of the Quartz Alliance has come to an end, but this is not the end of your life journey. Young trainers——"

The warm colors of the setting sun spread over the land, dotting the quartz sports ground that was once filled with smoke.

"Your journey has just begun."

[Event] The 381st Quartz Alliance Column·Day 10

[Owner] Reporter Mountaineering Man

day10 The fierce battle will eventually come to an end

Hello, battle enthusiasts from all over the world! This is the "Today's News" column of the annual Quartz League Competition. As always, Mountaineer Man will bring you new information related to the competition.

Today, the ten-day Quartz League competition finally came to a successful conclusion. Without further ado, let’s take a look at today’s battle situation.

Championship match: Saki Akita vs Chiho, Saki Akita wins.

Third place match: Shibayama Taishi vs. Beidou, Shibayama Taishi wins.

In this tournament with endless exciting duels, the final championship battle did not disappoint us. The red team player Akita Saki is the manipulator of the Sandstorm Formation. He has solid defensive capabilities and excellent tactical thinking, and can always defeat his opponents.

The offensive turned invisible. Midorigata Chiho is the trainer who once defeated the black horse Kiriha. He has a full grasp of combat skills in the arena and is good at using strategies and Pokémon exchanges to create a favorable situation for himself. The duel between the two sides

It was particularly eye-catching and lasted for as long as two hours. In the end, Akita Saki's ace Bankiras showed off his prowess, defeating three opponents in a row and winning the championship with a score of 6:4.

In the third place competition in the afternoon, the pure firepower collision was more intense and the battle rhythm was faster. Shibayama Taishi, who was born in the Aikawa Fighting Dojo, is good at explosive attacks, while Beidou players are good at high-speed battles. The collision between the swords of both sides was exciting.

People cannot take their eyes away even for a second. Whether it is the big bird who defeated two enemies in a row and injured the opponent's ace, or the mosquito swimmer who regained the disadvantage in a one-on-one fight in the second half, they all played together with the trainer.

The performance beyond one's own strength made people couldn't help but cheer for them. The score of this group of games was also 6:4, and Shibayama Daishi won the victory.

I believe that battle fans around the world will never want to miss the exciting showdown on the final day of the Quartz League. The video link has been attached below, and friends are welcome to watch it.

This is the end of the exciting Quartz League, and I believe everyone must be very reluctant to leave. However, don't leave in a hurry - there will be another step that has been customary for many years, the selection of the top three competitions.

An hour ago, the organizer has announced the voting results for the top three competitions in this league. Let us start from the back and talk about them one by one.

no.3 [Quarterfinals] Beidou vs Xingyu Bailan

Ranked third is the first game of the quarterfinals, the duel between Beidou and Xingyu Bailan. Friends who have followed recent events must still remember this game.

Player Bai Lan's Pokémon have extremely strong physical strength, and the trainer himself is also good at storm-like continuous attacks. In the first round, he even overwhelmingly defeated the eighth seed player Takuma Natsuhi. Faced with this

When faced with a tough opponent, Beidou players displayed an astonishing eleven-minute high-speed battle, a scene rarely seen in professional leagues.

The extreme showdown between attack and speed is one of the reasons why this game was selected as one of the top three.

no.2 [Final] Akita Saki vs Chiho

The wonderful finals just held this morning also occupied a place in the top three list. In this game, the two players fully demonstrated their solid tactical abilities and excellent judgment. It can be said that "Shield and

"Strategy" confrontation.

I think many friends must have begun to wonder - the championship battle can only be ranked second, so which game is the first among the top three?

I believe this answer is not difficult to predict——

no.1 [Top 16] Keiji Kusama vs. Kiriha Aoki

Yes, this 3v3, which is not a full-team battle, is the well-deserved pinnacle showdown of this Quartz League.

One of the contestants is the No. 1 seed player, Kyoji Kusama, the only disciple of Rainbow Gym Leader Rika. He has professional-level commanding ability, which is enough to support him to challenge the national competition. And his opponent is this year's

The most unexpected dark horse in the competition. In the battle, player Aoki Kiriha showed extremely amazing tactical ability. He flexibly used all kinds of incredible strategies, not relying on luck, but relying on his own strength to defeat Kyo Kusama.

It is amazing enough. I believe that my friends who watched the game with me have already been shocked by their wonderful showdown.

At this point, the mountaineering man’s quartz alliance column report is coming to an end. Friends who are new to the industry may feel reluctant to leave. Is the banquet about to end? Do we have to wait until next year to see you again?

Of course not!

Five days later, on July 5th, the Pokémon League Tam Open is about to begin. Friends who like to battle, follow me on a new journey!

This year's four-man/gang in black really looks a lot like last year's Mo Yu 2333. Not only do the black hat elements overlap, but the medals are all runner-up.

Why was the match between Chiho and Kiriha not ranked among the top three? It was clearly no worse than those on the list.

This familiar figure, 17l aren’t you the deputy moderator of Huayue, the next-door Tianwang column? 2333 came over to chat after finishing the manuscript.

[20l] I love your three-white eyes and cockscomb head the most

OK, let’s do some serious science.

Mr. Kagetsu, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hoenn, first participated in the regional league in 984 in the Hoenn League. At that time, he was just an unknown trainer, but he shone on the field and won the championship in one fell swoop.

That year's top three voting results were all played by Mr. Kagetsu, which caused dissatisfaction among many fans of other players. Since then, the regional league has changed the rules, and the same player can only appear once in the list.

[21l] I love your three-white eyes and cockscomb head the most

That’s right! Mr. Kagetsu is the man who changed the rules of the competition!!

(We can still be friends without mentioning the manuscript...)

[22l] fukami

Teachable

[23l]Youkilas of Silver Mountain

It's a pity that Greyhound retired too early, otherwise it would definitely have entered the top three

[24l]Move teaching maniac

I once read a retarded article about the decline of the trainer industry due to technological advancement, but now it turns out to be complete nonsense... Look at this Quartz League, there is not a single weak person who has made it to the top 16, and they are all so young.

Don’t worry about not having any good games to watch in the next ten years

[25l]Black volcano

The age 2333 was revealed upstairs. What kind of brainwashing kit were they from?

I feel the same way, and I like the atmosphere of the regional league qwq

Mo Fang, there is a league every year, see you next year——

====================

One o'clock in the evening, Pokémon Center.

Xiao Ye, who finally returned to the dormitory, looked at the stars outside the window and closed the curtains.

After the closing ceremony, a lively celebration was held in the player village, and businesses from all walks of life showed their utmost enthusiasm to entertain the players who had finished the battle. Xiaoye and his group were no exception - there were the playful golden retriever brothers and sisters, and they didn't care at all.

Unsurprisingly, they were the last batch of players to return to the dormitory.

Xiaoye looked at the clock on the wall with a look of helplessness. Although before leaving, everyone stubbornly agreed to meet at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss the itinerary... Xiaoye was really worried about whether Xiaojie and Xiaoling, who were having the craziest time, would wake up on time.

.

The sound of the doorknob turning attracted Xiaoye's attention. She looked up at the door and was stunned, "Yangzhen, are you leaving now?"

"Nonsense, why are you still crawling?" The gray-haired boy who had already put on his backpack snorted angrily.

"Don't you really want to wait until tomorrow morning to leave? It's too late today." Besides, the athletes' village is located on the outskirts of the city, and it will take a lot of time to get back to Mihara City.

"I have plenty of business to do, and I don't have time to hang around here." Yang Zhen obviously didn't intend to change his mind. He already stepped out of the room and waved casually to Xiao Ye.

"Goodbye."

Looking at the door that was closed tightly again, Xiaoye blinked blankly.

What could be so urgent that we need to leave in the middle of the night...

Realizing that the minute hand of the wall clock was already pointing to the third digit, Xiaoye shook her head and stopped thinking about useless questions. She quickly finished washing, lay down on the soft bed in the Pokémon Center, and soon fell asleep.

Perhaps it was the battle that finally ended that made Xiaoye relax, or perhaps it was the successful first step that made her subconscious touch the predetermined "ultimate goal"——

Late at night at the end of the journey, the girl had a dream.

A dream about a distant and different world.
